Emergency plumber in Kensington
- Basement drainage pumps failing and flooding the lowest floor, where gravity offers no fallback
- Stopcocks buried behind later joinery in period conversions, so isolation takes longer than the repair
- Mansion block leaks where the water has to be shut off at the riser rather than in the flat
In a Kensington mansion block, the flat below is often the first to know about a leak, and the porter is the second. If you are the source, turn off your own valve if you can find it, then go down and warn the flat underneath, because water in these buildings can pass through several storeys of lath and plaster. If water is running near the lift, tell the porter so it can be taken out of use. Where there is no night porter, the managing agent’s emergency number is the way to reach the riser. In stucco houses split into flats, the supply for the whole building may come in at lower-ground level, so that occupant may need to let us in. For night visits, expect an entryphone, a communal door and residents’ parking. Give us the porter’s number or the name on your buzzer, and warn us if the building has a key-only service entrance.

Common questions
Do you cover Kensington?
We do. Kensington falls within Kensington and Chelsea, covering the W8, W11, SW7 postcodes, and our engineers are out across Greater London from our Fulham office every day.
My basement is flooding and the pump has stopped. What can I do right now?
Stop anything adding water to it — no taps, no washing machine, no shower — and turn the power off to that floor if water is anywhere near sockets. A failed pump will not clear on its own and the water has nowhere to go, so this is a callout rather than something to leave overnight.
I cannot reach my stopcock because it is behind fitted cupboards. What should I do?
Do not start cutting into fitted joinery in a hurry. First look for a valve on the pipe feeding whatever is leaking, such as under the basin or behind the toilet, and use that. If there is none, the building’s main valve or the outside stop tap will shut off the supply, though in a block it will affect other flats too. Once the emergency is over, having the valve moved somewhere reachable is a sensible small job.
What does it cost?
You will have a price for the work before an engineer starts. If something behind the wall changes the scope, we pause and talk it through with you rather than carrying on and billing you afterwards.
